FN6587.1
±15kV ESD Protected, 100Mbps, 5V,
PROFIBUS®, Full Fail-safe,
RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
Features
Intersil’s ISL3259E is a ±15kV IEC61000 ESD Protected, 5V
powered, single transceiver that meets both the RS-485 and
RS-422 standards for balanced communication. It also
features the larger output voltage and higher data rate (up to
100Mbps) required by high speed PROFIBUS applications.
The low bus currents (+220µA/-150µA) present a “1/5 unit
load” to the RS-485 bus, thus allowing up to 160 transceivers
on the network without violating the RS-485 specification’s
load limit, and without using repeaters.
• Large Differential VOUT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.8V into 54Ω
Better Noise Immunity, or Drive up to 6 Terminations
• IEC61000 ESD Protection on RS-485 I/O Pins . . . ±15kV
- Class 3 HBM ESD Level on all Other Pins . . . . . . >9kV
This transceiver requires a 5V supply, and delivers at least a
2.1V differential output voltage. This translates into better noise
immunity (data integrity), longer reach, or the ability to drive up
to six 120Ω terminations in “star” or other non-standard bus
topologies.
• Very High Data Rate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . up to 100Mbps
• 11/13ns (Max) Tx/Rx Propagation Delays; 1.5ns (Max)
Skew
• 1/5 Unit Load Allows up to 160 Devices on the Bus
• Full Fail-Safe (Open, Shorted, Terminated/Undriven)
Receiver
• High Rx IOL to Drive Opto-Couplers for Isolated
Applications
• Hot Plug - Tx and Rx Outputs Remain Three-State During
Power-Up
SCSI applications benefit from the ISL3259’s low receiver
and transmitter part-to-part skews, which make it perfect for
high speed parallel applications where large numbers of bits
must be simultaneously captured. The low bit-to-bit skew
eases the timing constraints on the data latching signal.
• Low Quiescent Supply Current . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4mA
Receiver (Rx) inputs feature a “Full Fail-Safe” design, which
ensures a logic high Rx output if Rx inputs are floating,
shorted, or terminated but undriven. Rx outputs feature high
drive levels (typically >30mA @ VOL = 1V) to ease the design
of optically isolated interfaces.
• Operates from a Single +5V Supply
Hot Plug circuitry ensures that the Tx and Rx outputs remain
in a high impedance state while the power supply stabilizes.
Applications
Driver (Tx) outputs are short circuit protected, even for
voltages exceeding the power supply voltage. Additionally,
on-chip thermal shutdown circuitry disables the Tx outputs to
prevent damage if power dissipation becomes excessive.
• Low Current Shutdown Mode. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1µA
• -7V to +12V Common Mode Input Voltage Range
• Three-State Rx and Tx Outputs
• Current Limiting and Thermal Shutdown for Driver
Overload Protection
• Pb-Free (RoHS Compliant)
• PROFIBUS® DP and FMS Networks
• SCSI “Fast 40” Drivers and Receivers
• Motor Controller/Position Encoder Systems
• Factory Automation
• Field Bus Networks

FUNCTION
RO
Receiver output: If A - B ≥ -50mV, RO is high; If A - B ≤ -200mV, RO is low; RO = High if A and B are unconnected (floating) or shorted,
or connected to a terminated bus that is undriven.
RE
Receiver output enable. RO is enabled when RE is low; RO is high impedance when RE is high. If the Rx enable function isn’t
required, connect RE directly to GND.
DE
Driver output enable. The driver outputs, Y and Z, are enabled by bringing DE high. They are high impedance when DE is low. If the
Tx enable function isn’t required, connect DE to VCC through a 1kΩ or greater resistor.
DI
Driver input. A low on DI forces output Y low and output Z high. Similarly, a high on DI forces output Y high and output Z low.
GND
Ground connection. This is also the potential of the DFN thermal pad.
A/Y
±15kV IEC61000 ESD Protected RS-485, RS-422 level, noninverting receiver input and noninverting driver output. Pin is an input (A)
if DE = 0; pin is an output (Y) if DE = 1.
B/Z
±15kV IEC61000 ESD Protected RS-485, RS-422 level, inverting receiver input and inverting driver output. Pin is an input (B) if
DE = 0; pin is an output (Z) if DE = 1.
VCC
System power supply input (4.75V to 5.25V).
NC
No Connection.

NOTES:
5. All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to device ground unless
otherwise specified.
6. Supply current specification is valid for loaded drivers when DE = 0V.
7. Applies to peak current. See “Typical Performance Curves” starting on page 11 for more information.
8. Because of the shutdown feature, keep RE = 0 to prevent the device from entering SHDN.
9. Because of the shutdown feature, the RE signal high time must be short enough (typically <100ns) to prevent the device from entering SHDN.
10. These IC’s are put into shutdown by bringing RE high and DE low. If the inputs are in this state for less than 60ns, the parts are guaranteed not
to enter shutdown. If the inputs are in this state for at least 700ns, the parts are guaranteed to have entered shutdown. See “Low Power
Shutdown Mode” on page 11.
11. Keep RE = VCC, and set the DE signal low time >700ns to ensure that the device enters SHDN.
12. Set the RE signal high time >700ns to ensure that the device enters SHDN.
13. This is the part-to-part skew between any two units tested with identical test conditions (Temperature, VCC, etc.).
14. Parts are 100% tested at +25°C. Over-temperature limits established by characterization and are not production tested.

Application Information
RS-485 and RS-422 are differential (balanced) data
transmission standards for use in long haul or noisy
environments. RS-422 is a subset of RS-485, so RS-485
transceivers are also RS-422 compliant. RS-422 is a
point-to-multipoint (multidrop) standard, which allows only
one driver and up to 10 (assuming one unit load devices)
receivers on each bus. RS-485 is a true multipoint standard,
which allows up to 32 one unit load devices (any mix of
drivers and receivers) on each bus. To allow for multipoint
operation, the RS-485 spec requires that drivers must
handle bus contention without sustaining any damage.
Another important advantage of RS-485 is the extended
common mode range (CMR), which specifies that the driver
outputs and receiver inputs withstand signals that range from
+12V to -7V. RS-422 and RS-485 are intended for runs as
long as 4000’ (~1200m), so the wide CMR is necessary to
handle ground potential differences, as well as voltages
induced in the cable by external fields.
Receiver (Rx) Features
This transceiver utilizes a differential input receiver for
maximum noise immunity and common mode rejection. Input
sensitivity is ±200mV, as required by the RS-422 and RS-485
specifications. Receiver inputs function with common mode
voltages as great as 7V outside the power supplies (i.e.,
+12V and -7V), making them ideal for long networks, or
industrial environments, where induced voltages are a
realistic concern.
The receiver input resistance of 50kΩ surpasses the RS-422
spec of 4kΩ, and is 5x the RS-485 “Unit Load” (UL)
requirement of 12kΩ minimum. Thus, the ISL3259E is
known as a “one-fifth UL” transceiver, and there can be up to
160 devices on the RS-485 bus while still complying with the
RS-485 loading specification.
The receiver is a “full fail-safe” version that guarantees a
high level receiver output if the receiver inputs are
unconnected (floating), shorted together, or connected to a
terminated bus with all the transmitters disabled
(terminated/undriven).
Rx outputs deliver large low state currents (typically >30mA)
at VOL = 1V, to ease the design of optically coupled isolated
networks.
Receivers easily meet the 100Mbps data rate supported by
the driver, and the receiver output is tri-statable via the active
low RE input.
Driver (Tx) Features
The RS-485/RS-422 driver is a differential output device that
delivers at least 2.1V across a 54Ω load (RS-485/
PROFIBUS), and at least 2.6V across a 100Ω load (RS-422)
even with VCC = 4.75V. The drivers feature low propagation
delay skew to maximize bit width, and to minimize EMI.
9
Outputs of the drivers are not slew rate limited, so faster
output transition times allow data rates up to100Mbps. Driver
outputs are tri-statable via the active high DE input.
For parallel applications, bit-to-bit skews between any two
ISL3259E transmitter and receiver pairs are guaranteed to
be no worse than 8ns (4ns max for any two Tx, 4ns max for
any two Rx).
High VOD Improves Noise Immunity and Flexibility
The ISL3259E driver design delivers larger differential output
voltages (VOD) than the RS-485 standard requires, or than
most RS-485 transmitters can deliver. The minimum ±2.1V
VOD guarantees at least ±600mV more noise immunity than
networks built using standard 1.5V VOD transmitters.
Another advantage of the large VOD is the ability to drive more
than two bus terminations, which allows for utilizing the
ISL3259E in “star” and other multi-terminated, “non-standard”
network topologies. Figure 8, details the transmitter’s VOD vs
IOUT characteristic, and includes load lines for four (30Ω) and
six (20Ω) 120Ω terminations. The figure shows that the driver
typically delivers 1.9/1.5V into 4/6 terminations, even at +85°C.
The RS-485 standard requires a minimum 1.5V VOD into two
terminations, but the ISL3259E typically delivers RS-485
voltage levels with 2x to 3x the number of terminations.
ESD Protection
All pins on the ISL3259E include class 3 (>9kV) Human
Body Model (HBM) ESD protection structures, but the
RS-485 pins (driver outputs and receiver inputs)
incorporate advanced structures allowing them to survive
ESD events in excess of ±16.5kV HBM and ±15kV
IEC61000-4-2. The RS-485 pins are particularly vulnerable
to ESD strikes because they typically connect to an
exposed port on the exterior of the finished product. Simply
touching the port pins, or connecting a cable, can cause an
ESD event that might destroy unprotected ICs. These new
ESD structures protect the device whether or not it is
powered up, and without degrading the RS-485 common
mode range of -7V to +12V. This built-in ESD protection
eliminates the need for board level protection structures
(e.g., transient suppression diodes), and the associated,
undesirable capacitive load they present.
IEC61000-4-2 Testing
The IEC61000 test method applies to finished equipment,
rather than to an individual IC. Therefore, the pins most likely
to suffer an ESD event are those that are exposed to the
outside world (the RS-485 pins in this case), and the IC is
tested in its typical application configuration (power applied)
rather than testing each pin-to-pin combination. The
IEC61000 standard’s lower current limiting resistor coupled
with the larger charge storage capacitor yields a test that is
much more severe than the HBM test. The extra ESD
protection built into this device’s RS-485 pins allows the
design of equipment meeting level 4 criteria without the need
for additional board level protection on the RS-485 port.

ISL3259E
AIR-GAP DISCHARGE TEST METHOD
For this test method, a charged probe tip moves toward the
IC pin until the voltage arcs to it. The current waveform
delivered to the IC pin depends on approach speed,
humidity, temperature, etc., so it is more difficult to obtain
repeatable results. The ISL3259E RS-485 pins withstand
±15kV air-gap discharges.
CONTACT DISCHARGE TEST METHOD
During the contact discharge test, the probe contacts the
tested pin before the probe tip is energized, thereby
eliminating the variables associated with the air-gap
discharge. The result is a more repeatable and predictable
test, but equipment limits prevent testing devices at voltages
higher than ±9kV. The RS-485 pins of the ISL3259E survive
±8kV contact discharges.
Hot Plug Function
When a piece of equipment powers up, there is a period of
time where the processor or ASIC driving the RS-485 control
lines (DE, RE) is unable to ensure that the RS-485 Tx and
Rx outputs are kept disabled. If the equipment is connected
to the bus, a driver activating prematurely during power-up
may crash the bus. To avoid this scenario, the ISL3259E
incorporates a “Hot Plug” function. Circuitry monitoring VCC
ensures that, during power-up and power-down, the Tx and Rx
outputs remain disabled, regardless of the state of DE and RE,
if VCC is less than ~3.2V. This gives the processor/ASIC a
chance to stabilize and drive the RS-485 control lines to the
proper states.

Data Rate, Cables, and Terminations
Twisted pair is the cable of choice for RS-485, RS-422, and
PROFIBUS networks. Twisted pair cables tend to pick up
noise and other electromagnetically induced voltages as
common mode signals, which are effectively rejected by the
differential receivers in these ICs.
10
According to guidelines in the RS-422 and PROFIBUS
specifications, networks operating at data rates in excess of
3Mbps should be limited to cable lengths of 100m (328 ft) or
less, and the PROFIBUS specification recommends that the
more expensive “Type A” (22AWG) cable be used. The
ISL3259E’s large differential output swing, fast transition
times, and high drive-current output stages allow operation
even at 100Mbps over standard “CAT-5” cables up to 31m
(100 ft). Figures 16 and 17 detail the ISL3259E performance
at this condition, with a 120Ω termination resistor at both the
driver and the receiver ends. Note that the differential signal
delivered to the receiver at the end of the cable (A - B) still
exceeds 1V, so even longer cables could be driven if lower
noise margins are acceptable. Of course, jitter or some other
criteria may limit the network to shorter cable lengths than
those discussed here. If more noise margin is desired,
shorter cables may produce a larger receiver input signal.
Performance should be even better if the “Type A” cable is
utilized.
The ISL3259E may also be used at slower data rates over
longer cables, but there are some limitations. The Rx is
optimized for high speed operation, so its output may glitch if
the Rx input differential transition times are too slow.
Keeping the transition times below 500ns, (which equates to
the Tx driving a 1000’ (305m) CAT-5 cable) yields excellent
performance over the full operating temperature range.
To minimize reflections, proper termination is imperative when
using this high data rate transceiver. In point-to-point, or pointto-multipoint (single driver on bus) networks, the main cable
should be terminated in its characteristic impedance (typically
120Ω for “CAT-5”, and 220Ω for “Type A”) at the end farthest
from the driver. In multi-receiver applications, stubs
connecting receivers to the main cable should be kept as
short as possible. Multipoint (multi-driver) systems require that
the main cable be terminated in its characteristic impedance
at both ends. Stubs connecting a transceiver to the main cable
should be kept as short as possible.
Built-In Driver Overload Protection
As stated previously, the RS-485 specification requires that
drivers survive worst case bus contentions undamaged.
These transmitters meet this requirement via driver output
short circuit current limits, and on-chip thermal shutdown
circuitry.
The driver output stages incorporate short circuit current limiting
circuitry, which ensures that the output current never exceeds
the RS-485 specification, even at the common mode voltage
range extremes. In the event of a major short circuit condition,
the device also includes a thermal shutdown feature that
disables the drivers whenever the die temperature becomes
excessive. This eliminates the power dissipation, allowing the
die to cool. The drivers automatically reenable after the die
temperature drops about +15°. If the contention persists, the
thermal shutdown/re-enable cycle repeats until the fault is
cleared. Receivers stay operational during thermal shutdown.

Low Power Shutdown Mode
This BiCMOS transceiver uses a fraction of the power
required by their bipolar counterparts, but it also includes a
shutdown feature that reduces the already low quiescent ICC
to a 50nA trickle. It enters shutdown whenever the receiver
and driver are simultaneously disabled (RE = VCC and
DE = GND) for a period of at least 600ns. Disabling both the
